Leave Me Be Poem by Starrbox Munoz

LEAVE ME BE

I traded in my cage for a leash
My broken faith has morphed into angst
Time's healed my wounds, but I'm dying inside
Love's killing me, suffocating me, drowning me
It's hard to recondite my purpose
Am I still a child? Though you say I'm a 'college student'?

I want to soar, but I'm weighed down
Pressures building up just pending to erupt
I'm semi fixed, reconstructed a new into something that's not me
I'm destitute left with dents inside

Don't tell me what to do
I don't wanna be you
Just leave me alone
I'll learn on my own
You've made your own decisions and mistakes, now let me make my own
